why dont you send me what you have warlord, .. and i can give you a hand

[kuang]

The location is right there in the translation - you just need to type exactly where the people will be in order to track them down.

[WarlordX]

Ahh..i thought i'd tried that, guess not =| Thankyou Kuang and Jase

Good old fashioned detective work. Where you are going is a real place, and it is easy to narrow down where it is when you look at all the facts that are given.

Thanks, Jack. Can't ask for more than that. I'll have it before the Fourth of July fireworks show.

Now i'm struggling on the Polybius square >_< I have the keywords and i'm using the first in the polybius square and using the second to deduct numbers from the ciphertext, but i'm getting negatives and numbers less than 11, what am i doing wrong? I feel stupid

Be sure you have the right code (related to narodnik), the keyword for the p-square (1st of phrase related to goldfinger), and the repeated string (2nd of phrase related to goldfinger). That should get you where you want to go.

Nihilist Cipher with K*** as the keyword in the Polybius square and m**** translated into numbers, deducted from the cipher text and then worked out isn't working =( I don't understand what's going wrong =|

[kuang]

Make sure you're taking the second key away from the ciphertext and not the other way around,and then converting the result. It should work fine.

[WarlordX]

The first 2 letters i'm getting from the deciphered numbers are O and X? =| the first number i'm getting for M**** is 33 and deducting that from the first number of ciphertext =\ any ideas? It's probably something really little that i'm overlooking =|

[kuang]

Make sure you read the left hand side first and then the top for the co-ordinates. M does equal 33, and the first letter of the ciphertext is 76. 76-33=43 which is S.

[WarlordX]

Yeah i just worked that out =| I knew it was something small, thanks Kuang

Hi all, finally caught up with you all! Now I am just stuck on the url needed for catch and release, I have completed the sudoku puzzle and have three numbers, I have tried googling the numbers with western parcade, the lab and tried various codes for the numbers but now my brain is fried!!! a little nudge/hint would be very helpful now. Also is the level after this the next temporary ending?

Catch & Release

Don't focus on the Soduku...you are chasing that painting, and Rene has it! The note tells you where he is going to take it, how can you get there?

[kuang]

The level after this is half finished and so can't be played yet - it's just there as a placeholder.

[elise]

catch and release

Maybe I have just looked at this for too long and need a break but I can not find anything in the letter that speaks to me! Am I just overlooking the obvious?
